Yummare: ‘Eden’ album
Believe it or not, but Italian music is not only Al Bano and Romina Power and Eros Ramazzotti. So far, the work of musicians from the peninsula was not a global object of desire, but that may soon change the album “Eden” Yummare group makes that we can be …

There are so many female artists out there these days that it can be very difficult deciding what albums are worth buying and what albums are ultimately not worth the time or the money. I like trying out very random new musical artists just to see if they are …
Crowbar The Band
Crowbar is a band usually identified with the Southern Metal genre of popular music.The band is blistering,intense, and overly heavy.Their use of slow tempo and growling vocals makes them a unique band.Crowbar is heavily emotional and worthy of being labeled doom sludge metal.I love their sound and consider them …
Alanis Morissette

If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 Feat. Rihanna
I think that If I Never See Your Face Again by Maroon 5 Feat. Rihanna is so lame sounding and totally out of tune. I love both of them in terms of their music individually but this collaboration just aren’t them. It made them sounding like they are …

All That Remains: Fall Of Ideals
When I first heard of this band, I didn’t really know to much about them other than they sounded a lot like Killswitch Engage. Well I got more than I bargained for. When I borrowed this CD from my friend Jacob, I was soon to find out that they …
Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
What do you guys think of Back To Black by Amy Winehouse? As for me personally, I think that album by Amy this time round is kind of better. But only if she could change her image for a bit, to make it better or some sort, it …

Recently I got myself a 5-string bass guitar and it`s a brand called Ashton which is the first time that I`ve heard of it and it`s also the first time that I`m going to use an unpopular brand of bass guitar.
This instrument is a product of Ashton Music, an …
Nine Inch Nails - We’re In This Together (Song)
We’re In This Together is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track opens up with a pretty light synthesizer part but soon a very dark and much heavier rhythm replaces this light feeling and the song establishes this very dark mood …
You’re Beautiful by James Blunt
James Blunt’s song, You’re Beautiful is a lovely song about a man who sees a woman and falls for her. You’re Beautiful is rather fatalistic in that from the beginning, the man declares that he will never be with the girl, so he knows that a relationship will never …
Muse - Exo-Politics (Song)
Exo-Politics is a track by Muse which appears on Black Holes And Revelations. I will admit that although I think other songs on Black Holes And Revelations are far more dynamic and overall just demonstrate better songwriting, particularly Take A Bow and Map Of The Problematique, there’s something about …

The John Tesh Project: Pure Movies 2 CD

Empire State of Mind-Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys (song)

Go!Go!7188 - Antenna (2009 Album)
I’ve been following Japanese surf rock band Go!Go!7188 for over 5 years now, and I was really excited to get my copy of their 2009 album, Antenna, which promised some different sounds while still showing the classic Go!Go!7188 rock.
True enough, the album featured songs that I can’t really say …
Out of the Blue (song) from Debbie Gibson

Bossanova, 1990 Album by Pixies
This album is amazing. Even though the two previous Pixies records were really good, this one was even better in some crucial respects. I think that what this album turned out to be is simply unpredictable, if you look at what the previous records were. There must have been …
Can We Talk by Code Red
The song, Can We Talk by Code Red is a fantastic song. This song is a cover version and it is extremely nice and upbeat. Code Red is a British boy band but I think they are non-existent already.
If I’m not mistaken, they only manage to …
Heroes del Silencio - Avalancha - Album

Orestes - A Perfect Circle
Songs with a slower pace than most rock songs are ones that I typically enjoy, usually because these songs tend to be more creative on average. When a song moves slowly, it almost forces the songwriters to work a little harder at making the song interesting, as they do …
Taylor Guitars
Well the first saying that comes to mind when I think of Taylor guitars is “you get what you pay for”. Now, in some situations I have experienced this saying to be untrue. Such as, overpriced restaraunts with poor quality of food, salon grade hair products that …
City Escape - The Dear Hunter
I really like music that mixes a few good genres into something that is a nice swirl of both. Among my favorite combinations of genres is the mix of rock with jazz inspired pieces. There really is something about a piano, and sometimes horns, in a band that really …
Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams
This is my favorite Bryan Adams song. This is a rock song with energetic tunes, energetic steps, friendly lyrics. “Those were the best days of my life” punch line like this makes you feel nostalgic. Adams has sung this song in his typical unorthodox voice which some how suits …

Pink Floyd - The Wall (Side I)
Overview - Side I of The Wall, Pink Floyd’s most complex and detailed concept record, introduces the main character of this record and also explains a bit about him. Surprisingly, after re-listening to this side of the record I’d honestly have to say that for the most part, it …
Gold Cobra, 2011 Album by Limp Bizkit
I think that this album really marks a come back from Limp Bizkit. When I listened to this album I was really surprised to find out that it was pretty good. The albums by this band that they recorded after 2001 were really boring from my point of view. …
